Tues carpal tunnel surgery and not sure how long I won’t be able to sew.  I can start new projects once I can.  I alsoContinue reading “Organizational questions”

Since I don’t have a long arm quilting machine I decided I needed to find something that makes my quilting easier. Especially on those large King Size quilts.  I did just that.  I found something called “Sewslip multi-purpose sheets” from Gossamer Designs.  I love it.  It measures 18×12 and sits on your machine arm.  There isContinue reading “Quilting made easier”

Alicia has been very busy making little “Flower Dolls,” and Sweet Babies.  With a change in jobs she has been getting a new routine together and not been as creative as she would like.  She did work a night job and now is working days and it is taking time to adjust.  Now she isContinue reading “Being very Creative”

We were out yesterday shopping and stopped in at a few Antique Shops in town and was looking for old buttons.  I was shocked!  One store had “Antique Buttons” in a quart jar and was asking $100. for them.  Yes, the decimal is in the right place.  These were not that old either.  In theContinue reading “Button Button Whose Got Buttons?”

My goal this week is to get about 10 different aprons made for our sale in June.  So far 4 made and more cut out and ready to go.  When working on multiple of same items I work in an assembly line.  It works well for me and I can see an end as myContinue reading “Aprons, aprons, and more aprons”

All UFO’s finished and I am getting ready to start on some more aprons and pet mats, and a few more Quillows.  I don’t want to make too many until I see how they sell.  This past few weeks I have been trying to do too much.  I don’t seem to be getting anything totallyContinue reading “Beautiful Monday”

I have had shelves about 20inches wide and 12 inches deep in my sewing room from the floor to the ceiling.  I have put books or fabric and things like this for years.  Sunday night I went to get some fabric off one of the shelves and the top shelf started to fall and allContinue reading “And They Came Tumbling Down”
